250$ i believe u can get a chaintech or albatron GF4 Ti4400 for that price.

If you\'re in the sub $250 price range go for the Radeon 9500 Pro. Great performance for the price and DX9 compatibility.

imo, better off getting a Ti4600 rather then a 9500 pro.
9500 pro performs better under AA.. Ti4600 performs better without aa.
I don\'t bother using any kinda AA. When you\'re at high rez already why bother.

Although these days, you\'re better of waiting alittle and getting a 9700 pro or gffx.

Ti4600 isn\'t fully Dx9 compliant. If you want something better in general, the 9500 is a better option. It\'ll have a longer life span; a better buy overal.

yea.. how many games use DX8 fully... none

It will be awhile before dx9 is used fully. Even then GF FX will be cheaper.. Wait alittle.. Then get 9700pro or GF Fx.

whell if thats what ppl are thinkin, then don\'t buy anything until the newer cards become cheaper. thats obvoius. but if someone wants to buy something now, then the 9500 is the better choice.

« **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2003, 08:40:43 AM »

Dx9 is nothing its not even used in making games, its basically worthless, also the ti4600 would ass rape the 9500 when it comes to performance, Dx9 or not.
and thats my .002 cents.

« **Reply #29 on:** January 19, 2003, 08:47:45 AM »

I\'d rather get the 9500 Pro... don\'t forget it\'s cheaper too.

Besides, the 9500P \'rapes\' the Ti4600 when AA and AF is used.
